How much does it cost to drive from Merthyr Tydfil to Test Valley with petrol?

Let's delve into the expenses of a road trip from Merthyr Tydfil to Test Valley. The journey using petrol will set you back 22.6 pounds. Now, let's walk through how we arrived at this figure.

Firstly, we consider the price of petrol, which is 143 pence per liter. Next, we take into account the car's fuel consumption rate, which stands at 37.5 miles per gallon.

Now, suppose you're carpooling. If there are two passengers sharing the ride, each person will contribute 11.3 pounds (£22.6 divided by 2). With three passengers, the cost per person drops to around 7.53 pounds (£22.6 divided by 3). And if there are four passengers onboard, each person chips in 5.65 pounds (£22.6 divided by 4).

Let's delve deeper into the calculations. To determine how much fuel is needed for the trip, we rely on the distance and the car's fuel efficiency. The distance between Merthyr Tydfil and Test Valley is approximately 130.09 miles. So, to cover this distance, the car will require roughly 15.8 liters of petrol. We obtained this value by dividing the distance by the car's fuel consumption rate of 37.5 miles per gallon and then converting it to liters.

Once we have the amount of fuel needed, we calculate the total cost. Multiplying the fuel quantity (15.8 liters) by the price per liter (143 pence) yields 22.6 pounds. Therefore, the fuel cost for the journey from Merthyr Tydfil to Test Valley is 22.6 pounds.
 

 

Some things that affect car fuel consumption are:

  1. Driving Habits: Aggressive driving behaviors such as rapid acceleration, speeding, and frequent braking can significantly increase fuel consumption.

  2. Vehicle Maintenance: Proper maintenance, including regular oil changes, tire rotations, and engine tune-ups, ensures optimal fuel efficiency. Neglecting maintenance can lead to decreased fuel efficiency and increased fuel consumption.

  3. Tire Pressure: Improperly inflated tires can increase rolling resistance and fuel consumption. Maintaining proper tire pressure helps optimize fuel efficiency.

  4. Air Conditioning Usage: Running the air conditioning system can increase engine load and fuel consumption, especially in stop-and-go traffic or during city driving. Minimizing AC usage when possible can help reduce fuel consumption.
